Likelihood to Recommend
Good for high-volume sites and multiple data sources. Can connect to the major players in the publishing and e-commerce space.
We use Treasure Data as our primary storage and processing facility for the volumes of event data that our company receive daily. Treasure Data allows us to process troves of data at scale and need not worry about storage and processing infrastructure. We regard Treasure Data as our authoritative source of truth when it comes to reporting and event data.
Pros
Data storage
Data processing flexibility
Customer service
Cons
The workflow interface is great, but more options to handle automatic retrying might be nice.
Treasure Data has documentation on custom Presto and Hive functions they've implemented, though it's gotten harder to find over the years.
Likelihood to Recommend
Any time you need to process and store very large volumes of data at scale, Treasure Data will aways be at the forefront of my mind. Especially if the data being handled is constantly changing or evolving, rigid schemas just wont do. Treasure Data has the ability to adapt as your product needs change over time. Having the storage and processing flexibility is a huge win.
Treasure Data is used throughout the company. It is used to democratize our data so that it can be shared across different visualization tools. This way, our company is not dependent on any particular visualization tool. It is "plug and play" for data
Pros
Native connection to SFDC
Easy to integrate
Easy connection to visualization tools
Cons
Pricing
Likelihood to Recommend
If you have different departments that’s prefer different visualization tool, Treasure Data will be perfect. If you have a standard visualization tool, it is best to connect directly to that tool.

We use Treasure Data in our Marketing team. It is used to enable the constant flow of data between our database (snowflake) and other platforms like Salesforce. We use Salesforce for email campaigns in which we need refreshed data every day. We use Treasure Data to get data that refreshes every day from snowflake via data extensions. The segments that we create in Treasure Data are really useful.
Pros
Really easy to use user interface, pretty easy to navigate
Amazing customer support
Multiple activations attached to one segment
Cons
Enabling fields to use in output mapping of behavioral segments
Faster run for master segments
Ability to overwrite data in data extensions in Salesforce
Likelihood to Recommend
Treasure Data is really good for the distribution of data from the database to various platforms. One segment can be created using various conditions, and it is really easy to use the interface. Many activations can be attached to a segment to really save time and enable smooth data flow.
Treasure Data is used to ingest analytics from our frontend and backend services, as well as to import production tables. It serves as our Data Warehouse. This allows reporting to stakeholders to be done.
Pros
Managed service: don't need to scale up the infrastructure by ourselves.
Simple to use UI.
Good support from Treasure Data when we have problems.
Cons
Presto split hours limitation is a problem for us—we've essentially scaled quite quickly so the current plan is becoming expensive for us.
It's quite slow, but that's due to lack of computational resource.
When there are a large number of tables to list, the UI becomes slow and unresponsive.
Likelihood to Recommend
It's quite well suited when you're a smaller company, not so when you have heaps of events coming in like Canva. It's also useful when there is a lack of resources to manage your own infrastructure. The easy to use UI, in general, makes it easy for analysts, and sometimes, stakeholders to write SQL queries and reports.
We use Treasure Data as our ETL hub. We extract data using its connectors to several sources, such as Salesforce. We transform data using Treasure's query tools and also use it to build scheduled workflows. And we ultimately load ready to use tables into visualization tools such as Tableau.
This process allows us to combine and centralize our data into a format to best make use of it to uncover business insights and create reporting for accountability and tracking purposes.
Pros
Building Workflows is easy using Treasure's interface. You can run many jobs in parallel or in sequence and those jobs can run at scheduled times and create the right tables and data loads you need.
Being able to write queries (in Presto or Hive) using the all the data sources you have brought in to either create tables, run a query, or export data to a variety of sources is seamless and intuitive.
Extracting data from a variety of sources is fairly easy.
Very responsive and helpful customer service who you can reach easily by Chat.
Cons
Pricing is a bit of a black box. We are currently priced on split hour usage and some spikes come out of nowhere and leave us seeking answers (and sometimes finding unsatisfactory ones).
Some jobs will fail, causing workflows to be interrupted due to a product change or a one-time product related issue. We usually contact Support in these cases, and while they are incredibly responsive and helpful, it would be great to have more proactive communication.
Treasure's UI leaves us wanting more in terms of organization and controls, especially as we scale and grow the number of data sources, queries, and workflows.
Likelihood to Recommend
Treasure Data is a great use case for a company who is seeking to use a third-party (and at times, expensive) solution to automate the centralization of their data, even if it comes from a broad array of sources, and who has the resources to then create unified data sources and load them into a variety of options, be it Google Sheets, Tableau, or to even load enriched data into their own CRM to make the best use of it.

Treasure Data is being used across the data side of the business for data collection, storage and queries. The warehouse structure and tables are easy to use and run queries from. This is used daily by our advertising operations team.
Pros
Data warehousing
Easy querying
Simple table structure
Cons
No room for improvement
Likelihood to Recommend
Treasure Data is a great data warehousing option for small/medium businesses requireing data collection, storage and/or third-party connections.
Treasure Data (TD) was used as a Customer Data platform in order to improve the quality of marketing having a single view of the customers. It was used across all the world units but mostly by marketing areas. It was used in order to unify the data about the customers that are stored across several (too many) databases.
Pros
The first and most important feature is that it is completely out of the box. You contract Treasure Data and the day after you are able to ingest data, manage it, segment the audiences and then export it.
The power of calculation. Even having billions of records across hundreds of databases, we never wonder about the power of Treasure Data to ingest and manage it.
The customization of scripts. It is really easy and intuitive to write script inside the platform and even workflows (series of customizable on the fly queries).
The chat support, available 24/7, is a really nice option for a global company!
Cons
Some features, important for our business use cases, were in development such as writing scripts (other than presto/hive).
There was no SFTP for data ingestion provided out of the box, this could be nice-to-have.
Likelihood to Recommend
Treasure Data is really well designed for data management. It is a high-quality data lake, but even more than that there are many features developed specifically for real-life issues that most data engineers are used to encountering and can be hard to solve. For instance, the management of the jobs is really easy to handle and understand at first sight. Also, the parametrization in workflows made the deployment of the tool in all zones of the world as easy as a copy/paste. It would have taken weeks to adapt the workflow to the specificity of each country otherwise (zip code, phone numbers, SSN equivalent, etc.) On the other hand, the creation of not-available connectors (not that many, but existing) inside the platform may be improved. It is now configurable only in CLI.

Treasure Data is being used across the entire organization. We are using it to define churn probability of subscribers, behavioral analysis of our online readers, event attendees that have attended multiple events, digital advertising reports, multiple integrations with our CRM and email automation systems. We have connected it to Tableau to give us a strong data visualization element of our raw data. The biggest business problem that Treasure Data addresses is that it gives us a single platform for data collection and analysis.
Pros
Treasure Data is very flexible for ingesting different data sets.
The native integrations that they have built are among the majority of the systems that we have, therefore creating a data lake was relatively simple.
The product team at Treasure Data was able to build a new connector, as a partner to us as a client, for managing our event attendees and revenue impact.
Cons
One of the issues that we faced, when onboarding, was the lack of understanding around what we were trying to accomplish as a company, and not being made aware of some of the functionality in Treasure Data.
The documentation doesn't always have all of the steps, from a layman's perspective, to be able to set up more intricate custom connections.
We had an issue, specific to our needs, where the Doubleclick For Publishers (DFP) API connection wouldn't use a dynamic date range for data ingestion, therefore we have to change the date query each month, on the last day of the month, to pull in the latest digital advertiser information.
Likelihood to Recommend
Treasure Data is well suited for pulling in multiple data sets, to help define and understand your audience, business, predictive scoring and having a central platform for doing data analysis and data science.
What it's not well suited for, however, is heavy charting and data visualization. We've had limitations using Treasure Reporting.
